I’m a little older than a lot of the people that I know in the gaming community so for me money is not so big an issue; but I know that this wasn’t the case when I was younger and nor is it the case with most young people I know these days who are heavily into gaming.
So let’s start with the facts. It’s probably not too big a stretch to say that when people talk about their favourite gaming platform these days that XBox 360 would come at the top of the pack. To the best of my knowledge XBox 360 Games are the number one sellers in the market with no sign of their popularity abating. But these games are expensive. When you’re paying up around $60 for a new xbox game you certainly don’t want to be in a position where it breaks and then you’re forced to shell out another $60 just to replace it – particularly if you’re a teenager and don’t have ready access to that type of cash.
On top of this, Xbox 360 game disks are fragile. They are nothing more than DVD disks which can scratch or break easily. Dropping a game disk onto a hard surface will quite often do enough damage so that it becomes unplayable. I know – I’ve done this! Playing games can also result in minor damage to the surface of the disks which is caused by the playing mechanism. Through repeated and frequent use (and don’t we all play our XBox 360 a lot?!), these minor blemishes can accumulate and end up damaging the disk permanently.
To reduce the risk of paying extra should any of this happen – your best bet is to make a copy of the XBox 360 games that you already have. The problem of course lies in what is the best way to do this? It’s not possible to burn Xbox 360 games in the same way that you would a music CD as video game discs have “copyright protection” which precludes the copying of their content. Your computer will simply not recognise the disk.
What is needed therefore is a way to bypass the copy protection encryption that is found on the majority of gaming discs.

Tony.
